How many prongs on the units? Would it work in a two-prong only outlet?

I'm sure it would. The third prong is a grounding connector. The ground wire is for protection so it doesn't serve any other purpose except that. You must have a older home like my brother where his receptcacles doesn't have a ground. You can't use any safety electrical devices like a GFI without a ground but all 120vac devices will run without a ground except the protection of a GFI.

The unit has three prongs that plug into the wall outlet. It probably could be used with the proper three-to-two prong adapter.

3, but be careful that your outlet is a standard one, not one with a circuit breaker between the sockets. It won't fit into one of those.

What I have here is a one that goes into a two socket outlet.I hope that helps you.

Brenda, only a 2 prong. I believe there are inexpensive 2 prong to 3 prong adapters. Its worth a Google search.

It can work for and outlet with the 2 screws but for me i could only attach it with one of the 2 screws. This is designed for a plug with two outlets and one center screw holding it on.

I was in Florence and every outlet in my room was 3 holes. I was told 2 prong plugs might not be spaced far enough apart to reach the outer 2 holes. Supposedly 2 holes are the old style and 3 are new. Modern hotels or recently renovated ones will have 3, but older homes may have 2. I followed online advice and bought 3 which was what I needed

I haven't tried it, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Anything with a two-prong standard plug should work as far as I can tell.

That is a really interesting question. I have not done it, but it makes sense that it would work. As long as there is a weak signal that would be picked up by the second unit, it should work. There has to be some signal in the area that you plug the unit into.

Hi, I found the standard to be all three prong, not really two prong. They're cheap enough so get at least one two prong if you're worried. You'll be more than happy with the Orei grounded universal, thats all I used. Good luck :)

Hello, there is only one 3-prong plug on the back of the GE Grounded Adapter-Spaced Six-Outlet Tap. There is a small plastic supporting prong that pokes out below the 3-prong plug on the back that would go into the second outlet.

This is a 3 prong meaning it has the grounding prong. Any retailer or hardware store has the adapter that converts a 3-plug prong to a 2-plug prong but I would advise you check with an electrician before you consider this method. Hope this helps answer your question

It is a two pronged plug and it fit in my US outlet just fine. One of the prongs is taller than the other; some outlets, maybe older ones, will not accommodate it.

Hello Menachem, thank you for your question. The two prong AC adapter will fit into an outlet that services 110 / 220 volt.Kind Regards,RossGadgetsGo

All 6 sockets are 3 prong. Also the back has one 3 prong "active" plug (which is all that's needed to give the unit current); the second plug is three prong but plastic--simply to hold the unit in the wall socket.

both of the ones I have are 2 prong plugs (but I am using them connected to 3prong timers - I would suggest getting 3 prong timers as you may find yourself using them for other things also...)

No. A 2-prong plug works just fine in this unit. My phone and iPad chargers are both 2-pronged, and they work perfectly with this power strip.

In the US, you should be able to plug in two prong cables, power converters, etc. The third prong is for ground, so what ever you plug in with a two prong connector will simply not have a dedicated ground. But that should be ok, not everything needs a ground. If you are not in the US, or your house is not wired with three prong outlets, then you will not be able to use these cables and should return them.
